The safari tents are spacious and comfortable, featuring wood-burning stoves, real beds and en-suite facilities, while solar lighting and natural materials maintain a low environmental footprint. Guests can enjoy the farm’s seasonal produce, relax in the wildflower meadows, or spot local wildlife including deer, owls and hedgehogs.

Guests can stroll along waymarked footpaths, visit nearby Exmoor or the Quantock Hills, or enjoy a day trip to the Somerset coast. In the evenings, gather around the firepit or sit under the stars with a glass of wine in hand. With its mix of comfort, nature and rural experiences, Kittisford Barton is a perfect glamping getaway in the heart of the West Country.

We have just had the most wonderful week’s holiday staying at Corriedow. For us the cottage was perfect. Spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped and finished to a very high standard. We were supplied with a fantastic hamper full of M&S goodies and cold drinks left in the fridge. You will struggle to meet a more friendly and welcoming couple than Lynne and Alec.
We think Corriedow was super. Stunning views. Very well equipped to a high standard. Exactly as described. Very clean. Super hosts. Generous welcome pack. Suited us perfectly.
Another lovely review for Corriedow. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave your feedback.
Excellent standard of accommodation, beautiful setting and great hosts.
Thank you so much for leaving your lovely feedback,
Corriedow is simply perfect. The cottage was beautiful and in the most gorgeous location. Everything you could wish for is there to make your stay perfect. The host is incredibly kind and helpful too. We simply didn’t want to leave
What a wonderful review for our very special property Corriedow. Thank you so much.
The house is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and you have wonderful views. We got a very generous welcome hamper with essentials for breakfast and very tasty treats as well as drinks and very good white and red wine. We really regretted to have booked the house for just one week. Lynn is a very nice host. Thanks again for a wonderful week at Corriedow.
We really enjoyed staying at Corridow. It is the perfect place to get away from city life with the most amazing views. The property is finished to a high standard and had everything we needed and more. The thoughtful welcome basket contained essentials plus a lovely range of treats. The owners live 1km away on the working farm and they were really friendly and welcoming, but you really do have a quiet place to yourself at Corridow cottage. Aside from the local sheep who are kept in line by the skilled farmer and sheepdogs. There are pretty walks along surprisingly quiet local roads, with a good shop and cafe 4 miles away in Moniaive. We had a lovely, relaxing holiday and hope to return.
The property was beautifully presented and immaculate. Lynne was the perfect host.
Our New Year break at Corriedow Cottage was a brilliant escape into the heart of picturesque countryside. The cottage, perfectly located for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty, provided a perfect base for exploring the Southern Uplands and the Nith Valley. Situated just 3 miles from the charming village of Tynron, Corriedow offers a peaceful retreat, while the nearby Moniaive, approximately 4 miles away, and Thornhill, around 8 miles distant, provide convenient access to various local amenities. Our stay at Corriedow was made that bit more special by the hospitality of owners Lynne and Alex. The festive spirit was obvious throughout the cottage, with the tasteful Christmas decorations that adorned every corner. The effort they put into creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere did not go unnoticed, enhancing the overall festive experience. A highlight of our stay was the incredible festive hamper provided by Lynne and Alex. Bursting with delightful treats, the hamper featured an array of biscuits, popcorn, and a carefully selected bottle of whisky, among other delights. It was a thoughtful touch that added an extra layer of warmth and indulgence to our New Year celebrations. As we explored the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands and strolled along the river in the Nith Valley, Corriedow became not just a holiday home but a welcoming haven. The combination of breathtaking natural surroundings, convenient access to local amenities, and the warm hospitality of Lynne and Alex made our New Year break at Corriedow Cottage a truly great experience. Whether seeking a peaceful retreat or an adventure in the countryside, Corriedow Cottage stands out as a gem in Dumfries & Galloway, offering a perfect blend of comfort, beauty, and festive cheer
We had a great time at Corriedow over the Christmas period. The cottage itself was very comfortable, very well equipped and it is in a fantastic position in the countryside. Many thanks to Lynne for the generous welcome hamper and being very responsive if we had any queries.
Corriedow is an absolute gem! Set in peaceful surroundings, the cottage has been beautiful curated to provide everything you could possibly want for a restful and luxurious escape to the country. We were looking for somewhere not too far from home, to rest and recharge after a stressful few weeks of work, and Corriedow more than met our expectations. From the wonderful luxury welcome hamper, to the gorgeous yet comfortable interiors, everything had been thought of, and provided to make our stay memorable, welcoming and comfortable. At just 90 minutes drive away this is going to be our new bolt hole in the country! Thank you Lynn! Your care and attention to detail and for our every comfort was very much appreciated . We had a wonderful stay, can't recommend Corriedow highly enough, and are looking forward to our next visit!
The location of the cottage is incredible. The sunrise across the valley is breathtaking and it was so peaceful. Inside the cottage has been fitted out to the highest standard. It is lovely and warm with every mod con you could want. But above all, Lynne the host goes above and beyond. She is an absolute gem and a rare find in this day and age. I could not recommend Corriedow more highly!
It was a very comfortable cottage with unbelievable views over a wonderful countryside. Lynne had given us a generous welcome pack to start our holiday. We hope it will not be too long before we are able to return.
The welcome we received from Lynne and family was exceptional, unsurpassed by any we've experienced in our many years of self catering. Corriedow was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped. All the finishing touches were so thoughtful and much appreciated. Its beautiful setting was secluded and peaceful but within close proximity of many tourist attractions within the region - perfect!
THE BEST cottage we have ever stayed in, a beautiful house in an amazing location. Lynne is a great host, she went above and beyond to look after us and made sure we were happy. When we arrived the cottage was nice and cosy, candles were lit and the extremely generous welcome hamper was just lovely. We felt home straightaway. Everything was just perfect! We will definitely return! Thank you Lynne and Alec.
Fantastic house in a beautiful remote setting. Lynne and family were incredibly welcoming and the house was the best equipped of any Rural Retreat stays I have had. This part of Scotland is undiscovered by many and only 90 minutes from Glasgow and Edinburgh…definitely worth a visit.
Exceptional accommodation and host.
Immaculate, spacious, well appointed and in a beautiful location. Lovely, friendly, generous owner.
Extremely well equipped, comfortable cottage in a beautiful location. Lynne couldn’t have been more helpful. Can’t fault it.
Just wonderful. Without doubt the best holiday cottage I've stayed in. Lynne is the dream host. The cottage is beautiful and it was a wrench to tear ourselves away from the incredible view. Very well equipped with everything from tupperware to washing machine. True isolation but only a short drive from great things to see and do like drumlanrig Castle (a true hidden gem) biking at forest of ae and delicious food in Thornhill. Im reluctant to leave this review as dont want others to know about this marvellous place. If you're not sure whether to book it...let me help you out...book it. You won't regret it.
A hidden gem absolutely fabulous cottage stunning surroundings five star quality everything was perfect can’t wait to come back!! Thank you so much lynne we had the best time staying at corriedow Bella our little girl loved waking up to hearing the sheep outside and seeing the cows in the field (nessy was her best friend for the week) could have stayed longer thank you so much
